Pearl 44- Meridian 6. Final.

Wow. Couple of impressive wins for Pearl the last 3 weeks.

 

[The Peeper]

Laurel 45-42 over Hattiesburg final. Laurel led 28-7 at one point in first half

Wow. Couple of impressive wins for Pearl the last 3 weeks.

Pearl's O Line averages about 330. Not the most athletic bunch, but that size is a pretty good mismatch in high school football.

West Point 41, Oxford 0!

Clinton 27 WC 21 OT.

Clinton scored first in OT and elected to go for 2. WC stopped them on the try but failed to score in their possession.

So, MC-Clinton rematch in one semifinal and Pearl-Petal rematch in the other. Petal beat Brandon 14-10. Laurel-Picayune and West Point - Lake Cormorant in 5A.

Why would you go for 2 as the first team with possession in OT? Seems Clinton caught a break

 

[patdog]

Only reason is if you have zero confidence in your defense. And Clintons has been pretty bad at times this year.

Is a rule that you have to go for two in high school overtime? Otherwise it does seem to be an odd decision unless their kicker was injured or something else we don't know about.

 

[Todd4State]

That's heavier than any SEC o-line which is crazy.

 

[klong-dog]

Maybe the Clinton coach thought WC would go for 2, if they scored. Didn't wanna chance not trying to get the 2. Dunno, I know you never see it in college.

 

[DawgsOnTheWing]

Like college rule, have to go for 2 after second OT.

 

[DawgsOnTheWing]

Clinton (Cam) scored on first play of OT, so they might have thought he had good chance to walk in from the 3 yard line and put pressure on WC. As it turned out, they left the door wide open for WC and the Vikes didn't capitalize. Hard to stop Cam Akers when they only need 10 yards. Would like to see HS overtimes go to the college format.

Incorrect.

Like college rule, have to go for 2 after second OT.

No such rule in NFHS rules for OT.

 

[DawgsOnTheWing]

Just what I heard the WC announcers say.
